Susan Holmes Iyengar Yoga

Yoga, Wellbeing and Time for You

Susan began her life-changing yoga journey over 25 years ago and was delighted to qualify as an Iyengar Yoga teacher in 2020. She feels incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to share her love of yoga through teaching and hosting retreats.

Susan encourages students to develop a home practice and to discover the benefits of making yoga part of their everyday lives. For her, yoga is about meeting yourself exactly where you are on your journey — without judgement, expectation or comparison.

Each session is different, with the tone, energy and emphasis adapting to the time of day and the needs of the group. Her teaching is grounded in authenticity, compassion, a love of life and, of course, a good sense of humour.

Susan is a “What? Why? How?” yoga teacher — curious, open-minded and always learning alongside her students and mentors. She believes in being “open-minded and open-hearted”, teaching from the heart while exploring the connection between mind, body and breath.

A key focus of her teaching is helping to calm the nervous system, quieten the chatter of the mind and create space to breathe, move, pause and reconnect with yourself.

Time to Relax and Enjoy

A retreat is about much more than yoga. There is plenty of time to enjoy the destination, relax, explore, eat well, have fun and simply be. You can do as much or as little as you please.

There is no pressure to fill every moment. Perhaps you’ll enjoy a leisurely breakfast, take a walk, explore somewhere new, sit quietly with a book or simply enjoy some well-earned time for yourself.

  
Leave Feeling Refreshed

The aim is simple: to create the space and time to step away from everyday life, reconnect with yourself and return home feeling calmer, lighter, healthier and refreshed.

With a renewed sense of energy and wellbeing, you can take the benefits of your retreat home with you — and perhaps discover a little more about yourself along the way. “Know that all of you is welcome just as you are.”

Morning classes will be varied, opening the body and attuning the mind to the breath.  The combination of detailed instruction and a light-hearted approach makes the class both effective and enjoyable, leaving participants feeling refreshed, aligned, and inspired.

Evening classes will be a shorter restorative class to help you unwind, relax and connect to a deep sense of inner peace.

Each session is structured in a way to suit all levels of ability and will take you further according to your own ability and understanding of the practice.  You will go home energised and revived, refreshed and relaxed with wonderful memories and new friendships.
